functions
Purposes or roles
Functions are purposes or roles that something serves: The function of a lock is to secure a door.
In mathematics, a function is a relationship where each input produces exactly one output.
In computing, functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks.
The verb means to work or operate: The engine functions normally.
A function is also a formal event or ceremony: a corporate function.
